As many farmera have (and all ought to have) a bed of strawberries, and the crop next year depends largely on the way the plants are mulched for the coming winter, 1 will tell what I consider the best mulch' the farmer can use, and it can be had on every farm, as it is fodder waste, says Waldo F. Brown in New York Tribune. Begin in September or Ootober to feed your horses on corn fodder out to foot lengths, or shorter, and then bed them with the waste, using no other bedding. Do not clean the stalls daily, but keep forking it tinder them, and let it accumulate until the stalks are trampled flat and wet with urine and mixed with twine. It will improve it if you can store it in a roomy shed and keep an animal loose on it until you are ready to use it. Managed in thie way, the cornstalks will contain a considerable amount of fertilizing matter, which the •winter rains will wash down to the plants to give them a good start in the spring; there will be no seed of any kind in it to trouble the following season; the mulch will be light and will not smother the plante, and it will be ilat and will lie close to the ground, so that it will not blow off. I think it tbe best of all mulch for this purpose, and if cut short, as I recommend, it is easy to handle. This mulch should be applied the first time the ground freezes enough to bear the waggon.

A STORIZ or TUE DAT, --- Fail:Lire of an Attetnnt to ELitahliali Nightingakes in Scotland. The nightingale arrives in England sheet the leth of April, 'and tor the remainder of the month its song is heard OR asesr9 cede. Later it °coupe); iteelf with nest - building, rearing its young, and domeetio affairs geperally,„ and its tuneful voice is hushed. The migration of the nightingale to and in England :seems to he conducted in a due north and !tooth direction. It never gets ferther north than Carlisle, just south of tlae Scottie's, 'porder. John Siholeite acting on the general rule that migratory song birds almost always return to their native haunts, ,endeavored to establish the nightingale in Scotland. The experiment was conduoted on a large scale,and the result was considered as decisive. Sir John coramissiened a Len don dealer to buy as many nightingale eggs as he could get at the price of 1 still. ling each. These were carefully packed in wool and sent to Scotland by mail. A number of trustworthy men had pre. viotedy been engaged to find and tette especial care of as many robin redbreast's nests as possible, in places where the eggs could be Witched in perfect safety. As regularly as the parcels of eggs arrived from London the robins' eggs were re• moved from the nests and replaced' by them of the nightingale. In dun course of time they were hatched. The young nightingale°, when full fledged, flew About, and were observed for some time after- ward quite at home near the place where they first saw the light. In September, tbe usual period ot migration, they departed, but they never returned. The experiment was a failure. A. LOVER'S TRIALS. His Scheme to Circumvent a Stern Parent Lands Rim in &he. A Blanchester, N.H., despatch says; A broad daylight roneanoe, of which the end is not yet, occurred at the railway etation here to -day. Fred. Smith is a fine-looking and respeotable young French-Canadian employed in the dye house of the Manch'es- ter corporation. Delia Doyen oame here from Ottawa to visit, and here she met eoung Smith, and her fresh, peaohy cheeks, brown eyes, ripe -red lips and divine form wrought havoo in Fred's susceptible heart. Nor was he led attractive to Delia, and as the inevitable result they were " cried" in St. Augustine Church on Sanday, and the wedding was set for this morning in that edifice. But the happy plans were destined to be rudely shattered. Upon the express train from Montreal yesterday 05Me an angry father. He sought out his daughter and declared to her that sloe must not marry that man, and, finding her per. sistent in her design so to do, declared that she must at once return home. Smith was thunderstruck at the turn of , affairs, and secured an interview with the parent, who proved to be made of the most flinty materiel. In vain did Smith point ortt the fact that he loved the girl and the girl loved him, and that ib would cause both of them shamenennoyiencto and heartsokie to have the match postponed, also that it would only be a mutation of time when he would have her, as they would be true to eaoh other, and he would marry her anyway. Persuasion, entreaty, and argu- ment all failing,the young man tried strata-) gem. He attempted to secure an interview with the girl, and failing in this arranged with friends to plan a flight and marriage this morning, but every attecapt in this line was defeated. The father permitted no one to speak to his daughter, and kept her steadily with him all clay yesterday and all night. Smith determined to see her before she left, if only for a moment, so he col- lected some Jifty young friends, who, when the girl appeared in the station, were to jostle the old gentleman aside,eeparate him from hie daughter, and persuade her to leap into a carriage to le in readi- ness, and dash away for liberty. The plan failed through the overzeolonenese of hie adherents, for no sooner had Mr. Doyen appeared in the station to take the express hack to Montreal than the mob made a rush for him with clubs and knives, shouting "Hang him. In the ex- citement a rope was brought and flung over the old man's head. His daughter had a chance to fly, but Geeing her father in Bitch peril she clung frantically to htm ehrieking for aid. The polios arrived at a double quick, and the crowd was driven into the street with broken heads after vigorous clubbing. The old man, half strangled and his clothing torn, boarded the train finally, aided by the police, and safely placed his weeping child on a Pall. man, and kept watch and ward over her with a revolver, Overcome by excitement she fainted as the train pulled oat, and ao missed eight of her lover struggling in the arms of two policemen. He sweare he will follow her as soon as be is released from imprisonment. He is held on 5 charge of inciting a riot. Repairing Trees 'dared by Mice. Young trees aro injured more or less in the winter time by being girdled by mice and rabbits, esphoially young apple trees. The best thing is to prevent any such in- jury by adopting some protective methods early in the fall, but if the trees have be. come girdled it is well to apply some nemedy at once, says J. D. Morrow in the Practical .Fanner. As a rule fruit trees are not injured as much by these pests as they appear to be at first. Unless the inner bark is gnawed away they will recover if properly treated. The best thing is to apply to such wounds/a stiff plaster made of etiff clay and cow manure, with a little water added if necessary. This should be held in phew, and completely covered by a band of old bagging or some other coarse fabric,. The chief objeot of this is to keep the whole moist while nature heals the wound. If the weather is very dry, wet the bandage occasionally. The wound will 'naturally reduce the supply of sap in the tree, and it is sometimes advisable to cut back the branches of the tree. 'Unless the tree is very severely wounded it will soon recover from such injuries by the treatment given, but if it refuses to respond readily it is better to replace it by another of the same size and age. Very few trees so far have been injured by the mice or rabbits, for the winter has been so free and open that they have found enough green food without re- sorting to tree bark. It is only when other food is scarce that they eat the bark. Too Deep Plowing. The natural tendency of the plow in early spring is to go in too deeply, and turn up soil only partially leavened and lightened by air and warmth, says "Ameri- oan Cultivator." When the frost is first out of the ground the soil is moist, and it is coder to plow eight or nine inches deep than to a depth of six or seven 'Lichee later in the season, when drought end the abstraction of moisture by plant roots have hardened it. Every farmer knows that plow points dulled se as to be pest neing in the fall will do good work on either atubble Or eod the next spring. But, as a rule, stubble ground, if for spring grain, coareely needs the plow. It may be oultivated over to a depth of two to three iodhee, and in most seesaw; will thus britig a bettor orp of oats or barley than by deeper plowing. Where spring wheat is mainly grown, the only sure mimes is found by plowingin the fall and alightly cattle:sting or dragging the surface in spring sufficiently to barely oover the seed. It is usually said that thie is done to get the grain it earlier. We think that part ot the benefit of the prate gee Conies from keeping near the surface the iltely,ptilverized and rich mold that 1 AT L &NM APPETITES. -- Victualling an Ocean Greyhound For a Trip.

Of late, the Leatclon agency of the% ,“ National Con - green" has profeseed to be nlightening the Briteth public, and other droller proles., esions have been made by private individu- als. That the " enliglatment" has been one-sided and prejudiced has been ne- eded by many, and the following sped- ditaken from's raegazine article recently published in London shows that one instance, at least, can be adduced to prove thet stopieione such as we „refer to }neve not been altogether unfounded. A Hindu barrister -at -law is respondent for the fol. lowing misleading'statement, professedly a, reply to a statement that if the Congress - Wallahs became successful, the Mahome- dans would be swamped by the Hindus: " The so.nanointalked.of antagonism be- tween Hindus and Mahentedens exists in the brains of our critics only; those who know anything of India know that Hindus and illehomedans are, for all .practical pur. poses, one nation; leaving religion aside, in everythieg else—in social customs and manners, in intellectual tastes and pur- suits—there ici hardly any material differ- ence between the two; and if, as a French philoeopher stem the sentiment of nation- ality is lamed upon common oblivions and conamon recollections, then, indeed, it may be asserted, that Hindus and Blaktome- dans have nearly forgotten the bitter fends of past times." That all this is untrue is just w at is known by those who know something about India. It is all very well to talk of a sentinaent of, common nationality based upon feelings of amity and tolerance; that English education is a nationalizing force may be accepted as true ;• but as matters stand at present, there are only too obvious signs of antagon- ism between Hindus and Mahomedans and of divergenoies in social customs and man- ners, as well as in intellectual pursuits. In dee some doubts should lingerin the minds of any of our readere, we may make a few remarks to substantiate the datement we have made Our Indian Army is composite, the men being drawn from various nationalities and deeds. The Pathan, the Rajprit, the Brah- man, the Mahomedan, the Pariah and others are in the same ranks, and stand shoulder to shoulder on the parade ground, while on the march, and when engaged in aotion. The animosity of caste and creed would, under ouch conditions, seem to have become extinct. It would also appear that among these races there is an identity of interests and pursuits. Yet thin appears to be the case only so loin as the races are constrained by the stern hand of discipline to act as a united body. The sepoy loves his pay and submits without a murmur to the command of his superiors, so long as they leave his caste free from interference. If one thing more than another is needed to weld men of various nationalities and re- ligions into one " nation " having common oblivious : and common recollections, in may be found in service under a common muter, and, in times of war, in the sharing of common danger. The last two conditions may seem powerful enough to coalesoe races and bo - make different peoples forget their jarring interests, °reeds and other traditionary antipatlaies. Yet in the Indian army the eameness, the onenees, of interests and feelings extends only while the men are on duty. When they are no longer under discipline, the sight is worth seeing by a. visionary, who dreams that Hindus and Mahomedans have practically beoome one nation. The eodal manners and customs of the races are different. _Out of the parade ground, the Hindu shuns his Mahomedan comrade, no less than the lat- ter shuns the former. Each goes apart, each cooks for himself and each associates with his oastemen. The Mahomedan will not admit the Hindu into his house, lest the profane gaze of the latter sbould defile the sanctity of the &mane. Nor will the Hindu admit the Mahomedan into his house, lest the unsanotified presence of the (tasteless should render his domioile unholy, and his domestio utensils unclean. If there is any school which should teach more widely and more peraistently than any other those common obIivions and retool- leotions to which allusion has been made, our Indian army, broadly speaking, is teach a school. Yet we have but to study it to see how it fares. And Is a common language likely to be more successful This, it might be thought,would act power- fully to fuse party with party, and to bring shout a new or united nation. But here, too, castes and oreeds still assert their sway. They may be undermined, but they are still far from fallina. The vernacular of oettain classes of Hindus, both in the Ninth and in the South, is Hindustani. Again, certain classes of Mehomecians speak some one of the languages of the Hindus. Yet the Hindus continue Hindus, the Mahomedans are still Blahomedans, in thought, in feeling, in prejudice. and much more in religion.— Madras Times.

The various diseases which have been communicated to man through the agency of milk were considered; but special stress was laid upon the question of the prodnotion of human tubercle as the result of the ingestion of the milk of tnberonlons cows. It was contended that the same defective hygienic conditions which favor the development of this disease ia man alto favor its production in animals. Thus, deficient light and air, dampness of tends, overorowding, imported ventilation, bad and insufficnent food, and filthy surround- ings were set forth as the conditions tent- ing to lower health, to impair nutrition, andto increase susceptibility to tuberculosis both in man and in the cow; and all dairy farmers, as well as those responsible for the administration of dairiee, would do well to give heed to the warning which these fads oonvey. Among the remedies which Mr. North would suggest are is careful and systematic inapection o idairies and cattle by competent persons, and the require. ments that all who sell milk within the area of a sanitary !Authority ohould possess a special license granted by that authority, and cap:this of being withdraw o or sns- pended whenever euffident reason exists for snob action. It was further proposed that every producer and vendor of .milk should be bound to report to such sanitary authority the onourertme of any disease amongst the cattle, or the persons of his household, or arnonget those engaged in the preparation or distribution, of the milk. Such an address cannot fail to lead to a more careful and intelligent performance of some of the more important duties devolv- ing on sanitary inspeotors.—Lancet. A BREARVAST.

In the present fashions the bodice be. comes the distinctive point for ornament. The New York Tribune says: In all gowns the high and rather full sleeve is intro - duped, and is generally in contrasting material to the rest of tbe bodice, though in simple gowns of cheviot it usually matches the skirt. In combination dresses of cashmere and silk the bodioe is usually of silk and the sleeve of cashmere and silk. There is a tendency, as there has been for Donee time, to iit a bodice of some striped goods to the figure plainly and drape it acrose one side diagonally with plain wool or silk. The outlines of the figure are thrown in strong relief by the drapery, and it appears slighter. The large sleeves are heightened by a tiny pad when they are made of soft materials which could not be held in place with. out support. Velvet itt used on cheviot gowne for cuffs and collars, and on challise and other house -gowns trimmed with velvets ribbons. Treat Old People Well.

The railroad oar window is probably re- sponsible for as much profanity as the hammer and the nail. Who is there who has not tackled one of these obdurate in- stitutions? On a train Saturday a woman made a fruitless little effort to raise the window. A. gentleman from across the aisle immediately offered his services. He grabbed the °etch and with a confident air started to put the window right up without any fuse. A look of surprise came over his face as the window didn't badge. Then he got mad, and bracing his knees against the seat tugged away for life. But the window stayed right there. He wriggled and writhed and slipped off the eee,t until his face was carmine and greet globules of perspiration steed upon his manatee brow. The passengers locked thoughtful and con- siderate. The window would not budge and with a smile and apology, but with writhing volcano of words suppressed, he gave it up. Jed here a little puny indi- vidual stepped from a corner seat, rapped lightly on the bottom of the window frame and pushed up the slide with is triumphant look, and quietly hieing his seat started his newapsper again.—Buditio Courier.
